In 2024, Carpenter released their alt-pop debut, Demonology, a full-length album produced by Carpenter, Peter Shurkin, and Alden Witt. The music centers around highly personal stories of growing up in the Midwest and leaving Christianity. After years of performing as a Country and Americana artist, this release was a sonic and thematic departure.[5]
